From her own experience and working with women with hair loss over many years, Marlisa's Wig Studio & Day Spa staff know the questions women ask when they suffer temporary or permanent hair loss and are faced with wearing a wig.

Marlisa's Wig Studio and Day Spa staff's kindness and graciousness shines through when they consult with women considering a wig. Marlisa's Wig Studio and Day Spa offers privacy during all consultations.

Marlisa's Wig Studio and Day Spa staff has prepared this list of the most frequently asked questions of them:

Can people tell I'm wearing a wig?

Today, wigs are almost indistinguishable from a natural head of hair. Hand-tied baby hair or inside "hidden" wefting along the front gives a realistic hairline.

Today's synthetic fibers are much thinner than they used to be and thus avoid a bulky, "wiggy" look. They are also as soft and pliable as real hair for a gentle "move-as-you-move" action.

Isn't a wig uncomfortable?

Years ago, wigs were made with caps which were definitely hot and sticky.

Today, with the invention of the capless wigs, lengths of fibers or wefts are sewn to cotton or lace stretch bands which shape to the head yet allow plenty of air to circulate.

What if my wig comes off?

A wig that fits your head is essential to security. A proper fit prevents slippage.

Every wig has Velcro tape on the back rim of the wig. These can be tightened or loosened for a proper fit. Stretch lace caps also add to a secure, comfortable fit. Ear tabs at the temples and extensions at the nape gently shape to the head, keeping the wig centered and secure.

What color should I choose?

Choose a color that is as close as possible to your natural color. If hair loss is a possibility in the future, save a swatch of your own hair for a match.

You can always go a shade lighter than your own hair, but avoid going darker. We have a wide range of natural hair colors, including sun-kissed California Colors, dramatic color and luminous hair colors, so you should be able to easily find the shade that is right for you..

What style should I choose?

Choose a style most similar to the one you usually wear, a style that suits your personality and life style. If you prefer to be adventurous, you may want to use this time to experiment with that new curly (or straight) look you always wanted.

If you do change your style, stick to your own color. A change in color and style might be too startling if done all at once. We have a multitude of looks (short, straight, long, curly or wavy) in many varied styles (traditional, trendy, sporty, sophisticated, casual contemporary, business or pure glamour).

Aren't wigs expensive?

The belief that all wigs are expensive is simply untrue.

Wigs, like any piece of apparel, vary in price depending on the materials and craftsmanship. They can cost as little as $90.00 or as much as $300.00.

Some insurance companies will allow you to claim your wig. Ask your doctor to write a prescription for "hair prosthesis" and ask your wig professional to state the same on the sales report. You may want to do this at tax time as well.

Will I have to sit in public while I try on a wig?

We are sensitive to your needs and will do everything we can to show you an area where you will have privacy. In addition, we can help you select a style and color that's right for you, demonstrate how to put on a wig and instruct you in easy wig care methods.
